Inspiring Rags to Riches Story from Factory Worker to Iowa Business Leader in “Staney Reeg, Take This Job and Love It” Published by Lone Wolfe Press


“I just did not want to deal with failure, and I never wanted to go back to one of those factories. That is part of the blessing that has motivated me to become one of the top producers in our industry.” Stan Reeg

Iowan businessman and natural story teller Stanley Reeg shares his unexpected and dramatic journey from small town factory worker and son of an alcoholic to a life of wealth, community leadership and philanthropy in “Stanley Reeg, Take This Job and Love It” as told to Rich Wolfe, the prolific author of fifty-two books covering sports and the media. The riveting, fun and fast paced autobiography details the amazing life events that took Reeg from abject poverty to becoming a self-made multi-millionaire in the unlikely world of investments. And along the way, the values and strategies that he employs can serve as practical guidelines for anyone who is interested in finding their bliss and financial success.

“Stanley Reeg, Take This Job and Love It” (http://www.takethisjobandloveit.org) documents Reeg’s road to wealth, which was not the direct, guided path of most in the industry (through education and advantage), but was one of absolute determination, tireless effort, and perhaps just a bit of good luck. Reeg’s compelling “rags-to-riches” tale began in the tiny farming community of St. Donatus, Iowa, home to 140 people. As a ten year old boy, one of seven children living in a house with no furnace or water, with a father whose salary from the local John Deere factory went to drink and a mother whose anxiety led her to several stays in a sanitarium, Reeg wanted a different life for himself and somehow just knew that he would “get rich.”

Overcoming his dysfunctional upbringing, Reeg turned to his faith and to positive thinking to pursue that dream, working his way up in factory jobs, while also doing various side jobs. When the factory where he worked for 21 years closed, he took it as a blessing, and enrolled in a career assessment class where, much to his surprise, he was told that he was best suited to be a securities broker. Undeterred by his lack of experience or a college degree, he landed a job at a prestigious investment firm, and soon became a top producer.

Going on to become one of the countries’ leading financial advisors, Reeg shares specific investment strategies for the many clients he helped to build wealth over the years, as well as those he implemented for himself. Relaying the secrets of his success, Reeg writes, “I might not be the smartest guy, but I can outwork others. I put in the effort.” And he never forgets where he came from, “I just did not want to deal with failure, and I never wanted to go back to one of those factories. That is part of the blessing that has motivated me to become one of the top producers in our industry.”

Beyond asset management and investment strategy, Reeg reveals how he encourages his clients to enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Reeg, himself, enjoys a full life and shares the many interests he has pursued, telling amusing tales of his experiences as an avid exotic car collector, traveler, and golfer. He also demonstrates the gratitude he feels for his success, recalling the many people who helped him on his road to success and by giving back through various charitable donations. Readers can follow along this road from hardship to success when they open the unique dust jacket which transforms into a comic-inspired poster mapping out Reeg’s life and travels through Eastern Iowa.

Reeg motivates, educates, and amuses in this plain spoken reminiscence. His ever present optimism will be an inspiration to anyone whose circumstances seem hopeless, and his lessons in searching for the career that best suits you, and then working harder than the next guy to succeed, is a roadmap for all people looking for fulfillment in the job of their dreams.

Stanley Reeg is a successful and experienced financial advisor with more than thirty years of experience in the industry, and began his investment career with Dain Bosworth in 1985. With clients in multiple states, he is the Managing Director of Investments for The Reeg Team at Robert W. Baird and Company, splitting his time between offices in Davenport, Iowa and Scottsdale, Arizona. Married to his wife Betty for fifty years, they call DeWitt, Iowa home and winter in Scottsdale, Arizona. Together, they can boast 2 sons, Todd and Eric, who enjoy successful careers in the financial services industry.

Also a small town boy, author, Rich Wolfe is a native of Lost Nation, Iowa. Rich played basketball and baseball at Notre Dame, and was the first Davenport Assumption all-state athlete and the first Iowan to play in the Cape Cod College League. He has written 52 books including two top selling profiles of the Chicago Cubs, as well as histories of the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, and Iowa Hawkeyes and a best-selling biography of Tim Russert. Says Wolfe, “After writing 52 books, I thought I had seen and heard it all until I met the amazing Stan Reeg and heard his incredible rags-to-riches story. Every single person can drastically and easily change their life for the better by emulating Stan.”

“Stanley Reeg, Take This Job and Love It” is published by Lone Wolfe Press and is available at Amazon.com. All profits from the book will help fund education at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges. For press kit and images go to: http://takethisjobandloveit.org/media

Research From Newtriment Store Shows that Consumers View Supplements as a Viable Alternative to Antibiotics as Resistance Rates Soar


https://www.prweb.com/

Goodbye UTI is the First and Only Pharmacist Approved All-Natural Treatment for U.T.I.s.

“We want to let women know that there’s an alternative first line of treatment when faced with a U.T.I. that does not require antibiotics. In fact, we feel that antibiotics should be the last resort.”

Recent news of rising worldwide antibiotic resistance rates seen in New York Times and 60 Minutes raised alarms for women’s health in the U.S. With Urinary Tract Infections (U.T.I.s) being the most common bacterial infection, affecting 39 million women in the U.S. every year, ineffective antibiotic use against E. coli, the bacteria that most often contributes to these infections, puts nearly half of the female population at risk of kidney damage – and even death.

Following Matt Richtel’s article on the Antibiotic Crisis, the New York Times was flooded with comments from 600+ women talking about the implications of U.T.I.s, which can be deadly if untreated. Based on national research conducted in February 2019 among 880 women aged 18-70 years, 39 million women get U.T.I.s every year, and 12 million experience recurring infections within that same year. The number rises to over 43 million when including women 70+ years of age. Half of these older women are “asymptomatic,” so their U.T.I. remains undiagnosed for too long and they are either deemed to have dementia or end up in the hospital with life-threatening kidney infections.

As an alternative to antibiotic use, early clinical trials show that D-Mannose, the key ingredient in Goodbye UTI, may work better than antibiotics to relieve U.T.I. symptoms and protect the bladder against recurring infections. A recent study of 308 women with a history of recurrent U.T.I.s were evaluated. The group taking D-Mannose did the best in eliminating infection with virtually no side-effects from treatment. Today, two million women are taking supplements containing D-Mannose to support urinary tract health. Within this segment, Goodbye UTI is gaining popularity for its effectiveness in flushing E. coli to from the urethra and bladder. Its all-natural formulation offers an antibiotic alternative, dissolving immediately in water or coffee with no taste or viscosity. Just one spoonful a day has been found effective in preventing U.T.I.s and acting as a first line of home treatment when infections strike.

“The discussion around effective prevention and treatment needs to be broken open, said Goodbye UTI founder, Beth Allan. “We want to let women know that there’s an alternative first line of treatment when faced with a U.T.I. that does not require antibiotics. In fact, we feel that antibiotics should be the last resort.”

Goodbye UTI enables women to manage urinary tract health in just moments a day, vs. hours waiting for a doctor’s appointment and paying for a prescription after diagnosis. Please take a look at this video, which showcases how Goodbye UTI can tackle infection.

ABOUT: The Newtriment Store has introduced Goodbye UTI as the first and only pharmacist-formulated, all-natural supplement that promotes a healthy urinary tract, provides relief from the symptoms of active U.T.I.s and protects against recurrent infections. One spoonful (2 grams) equals 10 pounds of antioxidant-rich berries, without added sugar. Developed by Dr. Dustin De Panicis, a Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), CEO and founder of Catalyst Nutraceuticals, Goodbye UTI is distributed direct to consumers from its website, http://www.Goodbye-UTI.com, a part of the Newtriment Store.

New Publication from the University of Maryland Extension Exposes Sodium in Well Water as a Maryland Health Concern


https://www.prweb.com/

Have well water tested to determine levels of sodium.

Private wells are not regulated and it is up to the owner to have it tested, and treated if necessary.

Elevated levels of sodium in well water are being reported across the state of Maryland, and for residents with high blood pressure, drinking the recommended daily amount of water could increase the amount of sodium consumed, and therefore affect their health, say University of Maryland Extension researchers.

A new UMd Extension publication, “Sodium in Your Well Water: A Health Concern,” highlights the rising salinity levels in Maryland groundwater and aquifers, and provides advice for understanding sodium levels in tap water from private well systems.

“We designed this publication to increase awareness that well water may be a source of sodium to consider, especially for people who are on a low sodium diet,” said Dr. Andrew Lazur, State Extension Specialist in water quality and lead author on the paper. ”It also reminds well owners to test their water and include sodium in the tests.”

The publication provides a variety of resources for understanding salinity levels in your diet, including a sodium calculator to determine the amount of sodium in your diet from water, as well as levels in your well water.

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advises limiting daily intake of sodium to 2,300 mg per day according to the paper, written in conjunction with Extension Specialists Daphne Pee and Beverly Jackey.

“The American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams (mgs) a day, and is moving toward an ideal limit of 1,500 mgs per day for most adults,” said Jackey, a Registered Dietitian and Family and Consumer Sciences Educator in Cecil, Kent and Queen Anne’s Counties. “Adults with high blood pressure should limit their intake to 1,500 mg per day.”

“Sodium is the sixth most abundant element on earth and is an important component of the body, with a certain level being essential for good health. It is recommended that adults consume a minimum of 500 milligrams (mg) per day from food and water,” Lazur said. “However, it has been shown that most adult Americans consume 3,000 to 5,000 mg per day, averaging 3,400 mg for the U.S. population.”

While municipal water systems are monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency, which has set guidelines on the amount of sodium allowable, well water quality is not regulated and homeowners must determine that information for their own location. “Municipal water supply customers receive an annual summary of their water quality and can get sodium information from the utility,” said Lazur. “Private wells are not regulated and it is up to the owner to have it tested, and treated if necessary.”

A Maryland Geological Survey study found that the average sodium level in homes using well water on Maryland’s coastal plain (the region of Maryland east of I-95), was 92.6 mg/liter. According to Lazur’s research, this means that if you follow a low-sodium diet and drink the recommended amount of water per day, you would consume 15 percent of your total daily sodium intake just through your drinking water.

However, water quality varies from well to well due to the soils and geology where the groundwater is located, says Lazur, and is affected by natural minerals, contaminants, and is also impacted by municipal activities such as road salt distribution to prevent ice buildup during winter months. Using a water softener to treat for iron or prevent scaling of pipes and fixtures in systems with hard water can add sodium to drinking water as well, he said. According to the Maryland Geological Survey, average levels of sodium are also increasing due to the pumping of aquifers, which can cause brackish or salt water to infiltrate an aquifer, as well as sea-level rise associated with climate change, which is a growing concern related to saltwater intrusion into fresh water systems.

While purchasing bottled water or faucet and refrigerator filters offered in standard retail stores seems like a viable option, Lazur warns that some point-of-use faucet filters do not remove sodium content, and bottled water could have sodium depending on its source. “A study in 2001 showed bottled spring water ranged from 1-15 mg/liter; and 36 to 1,095 mg/liter for bottled mineral water. Some companies may add salt to enhance taste as with mineral waters,” Lazur said.

“Consumers can find the amount of sodium in various types of bottled water by looking at the Nutrition Facts Panel on the label,” said Jackey. “If sodium is added to the water, it will also appear in the ingredient list”.

More reliable ways to remove sodium from your tap water include using a reverse osmosis filter for the faucet you use for drinking and cooking water, and if you have a water softener, use potassium chloride as opposed to sodium chloride and bypass the cold water supply.

Read the full publication, “Sodium in Your Well Water: A Health Concern,” or access more information about private wells and drinking water from the University of Maryland Extension at extension.umd.edu/well-and-septic. To learn more about tracking sodium intake through diet, Jackey recommends the American Heart Association’s free downloadable sodium tracker.

The Beauty of Setria® – Surge in Wellness-Infused Beauty Creates New Space for Leading Ingredient Supplement Brand Setria® Glutathione


News Image

Wrapping up a week dedicated to emerging Indie beauty trends, International Beauty Expert Corinne Morley spoke at a press luncheon at The Press Lounge in New York City, covering the booming interest in wellness-infused beauty that has taken off industry-wide.

Morley, who has extensive experience in the beauty industry, including holding impressive roles at Estée Lauder and Trilogy Natural Skincare, spoke to the modern meaning of ‘beauty from within’ – noting that while this is not a new concept, consumers and retailers alike, including Sephora, Nordstrom and Anthropologie, are beginning to blur the lines between health supplements and traditional beauty products on shelves.

“Beauty is much more than skin-deep, it’s a reflection of how we’re feeling,” explains Morley, “Everything that we do externally and internally affects the outward appearance of our skin. It’s not just about how we treat the outer surface of our skin, it’s also a reflection of what’s going on inside – from lack of sleep, to stress, from diet, to too much sun exposure, from environmental toxins to what skincare products we choose to use, everything has an impact.”

Morley notes that one of the skin’s biggest enemies is “the environment that we live in,” informing the key beauty media and influencers in attendance that “without a doubt” free radicals, found in our everyday environment, are “one of the most negative influences on how our skin looks and behaves.”

Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause damage to DNA in cells, disrupting normal cell function, while also having the power to deteriorate the skin’s structural support by decreasing its suppleness and elasticity. While free radicals are in our environment every day and are part of the natural aging process, Morley explains that “certain things actually stimulate free radical activity, such as air pollution, UV radiation, smoking, alcohol and poor nutrition, so we want to calm the free radical activity…because we know how damaging [it] can be to our health, wellness, and how our skin is going to age.”

“Luckily,” continues Morley, “there is an antidote – antioxidants. Antioxidants are powerfully combative toward free radicals, because they help neutralize them.”

Glutathione, known as the body’s ‘master antioxidant,’ is found, to varying degrees, in all cells, tissues, body fluids and organ systems in the body. Glutathione can neutralize potentially harmful free radicals, eliminate toxins, chemicals and potential carcinogens absorbed in the body, and can reactivate other antioxidants that are important for skin, hair and nail health like Vitamin E. However, glutathione levels may decrease due to various factors such as age, diet, UV exposure, health conditions, weight, medications, and poor lifestyle habits. Supplementing with glutathione and incorporating glutathione-rich foods into your diet may help raise glutathione levels in the body*. Setria® Glutathione, a patented form of Glutathione, is a branded ingredient that has been clinically researched to help increase the body’s stores of glutathione, and can help support immunity, detoxification, and skin brightening*.

‘Wellness and beauty go hand-in-hand, and research is the cornerstone of both,” states Morley, “Setria® Glutathione is great because now, customers are really demanding quality, research-backed ingredients. This ingredient, found in many supplement products for beauty, detox and recovery, such as BeautifulAlly by Bluebonnet, Genius Beauty by The Genius Brand, Balance by Alaninu, Bright-Eyed Mornings by Zaca, and Setria L-Glutathione Reduced by Healthy Origins, is actually research backed. It’s a pure glutathione, it’s allergy-free, and is suited for everyone to be taking on a regular basis. It’s processed through a fermentation process, which means it doesn’t have any added chemicals – it’s a more natural process.”

As interest in wellness-infused beauty continues to thrive amongst the beauty industry, Kyowa Hakko, manufacturers of Setria® Glutathione, are thrilled to be at the forefront of conversations.

Media interested in setting up an interview with a representative from Kyowa Hakko, or Corinne Morley, to discuss the health and beauty benefits of glutathione, please contact Sara White: sara@adinnyc.com, 212-693-2150.

On a mission to fulfill the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of people in crisis, LeSEA Global Feed The Hungry distributes food and relief to those in need here in the U.S. and to 94 nations throughout the world.

A full life feels good. And because of that, it’s so satisfying to know that when you give to Feed The Hungry, you do more than just give food. Through nourishing meals for children facing starvation and emergency supplies for families displaced by disaster, you give thousands the chance to live a full life. That’s why LeSEA Feed The Hungry and Makers Nutrition are urging you and your company to give as much as possible to those in need.

“This time around, the Makers Nutrition team is very proud to have donated approximately $50,000 worth of assorted dietary supplements ranging from prostate health support to glutamine and zinc supplementation to help fuel the body,” says Executive Vice President Steve Finnegan. “As we grow as a company, we grow as a community. That’s how we see it. Our success means nothing to us if we don’t use it for good… and as LeSEA Global puts it, a full life feels good.”
